DAME Helen Mirren wants to portray Donald Trump in a movie biopic.
The 72-year- old movie legend thinks it would be “so funny” to play the role of the American President in a film based on him and his life, and she thinks she would be great for the position because she believes they have a similar hair style.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the Collateral Beauty star said: “I’d be so funny as Trump. I love it. I’ve almost got the hair.
“( He’s) a fantastic, sort of slightly Shakespearean character. He may have a Shakespearean fall, I don’t know ... He is an extraordinary character.”
And Mirren has revealed if a production based on the US leader was to arise, she would like to explore Trump’s upbringing, and his family life in the project.
She said: “You look at the upbringing. You look at the schooling, the father, the mother.
“I don’t know much about Mr Trump’s background, but if I was to play him I would definitely start there. You have to start with the child and the child is very much in Trump.”
Mirren has played a string of real- life personalities throughout her career including
